Help me give my students books they can take home and have for their very own in order to increase literacy.

My Project
Living in a rural area, students do not have access to many books. Every year on Dr. Seuss’s birthday, the teachers in our school district come together to promote literacy with the students, especially at the elementary level. One of the favorite projects we sponsor is Bingo for Books. Students from all three in-town elementary schools and one distant rural school (two-room schoolhouse) come to the event to earn books to take home and read. However, with the increasing prices of books and the limited funds we have for projects such as this, we are in need of support in order to continue this tradition.
Please help us buy books for our elementary students and their families so that we can continue to promote literacy skills and encourage a love for reading for our students.
Many of our students do not have books at home to read and cannot get to a library to check out books. By having a Bingo for Books night it allows all students in our district to win a bingo and choose a book they can have for their very own.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
